Anticopyright diatribes are the important part!

Does this mean they’re Alex Jones’s boss now?

That’s really interesting!

We’ve been overdue for a revolution at least in copyright law for a long time now.

I have always used Firefox on all my devices, except for one: the Chromebook I was forced to buy because of compatibility with my college’s test proctoring spyware.

On that device, not only did uBlock Origin quit working the other day, but today Chrome even kept disabling uBlock Lite with the error message that “This extension reloaded itself too frequently”. It could be some kind of legitimate bug, but it sure feels a lot like foul play on Google’s part.

Brave was astro-turfed by crypto-scammers for way too long to give people suggesting it now the benefit of the doubt.

Imagine having an OS that doesn’t come with a proper package manager (and Firefox installed by default, for that matter).

Back then, !selfhosted@lemmy.world was one of the most active communities, LOL. There might be somewhat fewer people here right now, but at least the content has diversified somewhat since we settled in.

(Not that I dislike self-hosting, mind you. In fact I wouldn’t mind if that community were a little more active…)

.World not being hosted in the US is news to me (as an American member of it, no less). It’s definitely welcome news, though!

I don’t know the answer, but I do know I’d at least start off looking for hardware with a dedicated ASIC for routing, not general-purpose PC hardware doing routing with the CPU.

Stuff that isn’t accessed eventually gets deleted. If the Lemmy instances (which are clearnet, of course) delete the references to it, it would go away.

Chrome’s engine was originally forked from WebKit. That makes them too similar (even years later) for WebKit to count as a real alternative.

Seems to me that this is a use-case Freenet Hyphanet would be good for, both because it distributes the problem of file storage load and because it eliminates responsibility for each host to police his node by making it impossible for anyone to know which file chunks said node is hosting.

Nipples are wizards, confirmed.

“Basic competence?”

We have that already; it’s called a bicycle.

Technically correct, because they weren’t “American” before they landed.

They abandoned the Bible as a real guide long before that, though.

As an IT guy, if I worked with Macs this would be terrible to work with

You know, now that you say it, I’d bet that’s exactly why they did it. They probably want to fuck over companies that would otherwise have racks of Mac Minis (for clusters, colocated servers, etc.) and force them into Mac Studios or Mac Pros instead.

Implying Mac Minis haven’t looked like Apple TVs from the beginning?

Assuming that there are any non-fascists left to react…
